that Harry said this, im not sure why, but ive kind of lost a little
respect in Harry after this. SO whats everyone's opinion in this??

Annemehr:
Besides agreeing with what Alla and Snow have posted, I'd just like to
add two points:

1)Harry *had* faced Voldemort wand-to-wand a year before, in the
graveyard, and Harry was the one who forced the bead of light into
Voldemort's wand.

2)Harry probably realised there was no point in arguing the facts with
Draco; all that Harry said was just for the purpose of showing he was
not going to be cowed by Draco.  This is also the reasoning I use for
why Harry didn't bother explaining that it wasn't he who'd landed
Lucius in Azkaban (it was Voldemort's plot and Dumbledore's superior
fighting skills that did that).

hoping Harry never stops walking around...
